The benefit from supervision. A follow-up of the Swedish Competition Authority’s supervision of public procurement

COMPETITION, RAPPORTSERIE, 2016 The majority of the contracting authorities that have been the subject of the Swedish Competition Authority’s supervisory decisions end up making changes to their routines. That is the conclusion of a survey which we present in this report.

During 2015, the Swedish Competition Authority conducted a follow-up of the actions taken by authorities which had previously instructed to pay procurement fines. We have now also conducted a follow-up of the actions of the contracting authorities and entities that were subject to supervisory decisions made between January 2014 and September 2015.

The report aims to provide a better understanding of how the Swedish Competition Authority’s supervision of the procurement rules affects the contracting authorities’ activities.
